Gawk at my Opals presents a very unique and rare Ethiopian Welo Hydrophane Opal which looks like the shape of an expresso bean.  This is a black opaque opal with contrasting crystal sections that are brown.  This opal fires blue and red primarily and is extremely cool looking.  This opal weighs 3.60 carats and is definitely a conversation piece.  

We use only the highest grade AAA+++Ethiopian Welo Crystal Opals that have passed our stability tests.  We in no way treat or stabilize the rough other than to pre-soak in water to look for stress cracks and potential problems.  We sift through thousand of grams of rough for both our faceted gems and all my opal gems beads that I have designed or manufacture.  We purchased our facet rough either directly from Addis Ababa mine-direct or from their top associates in the US.  

Please read our auction and buying policies before bidding please:

Why are users outbidding themselves?

When a bid is placed, this is the maximum amount a user is willing to bid for the product. Our system will then automatically bid on that users behalf, incrementally increasing the bid to maintain their position as the highest bidder, up to the specified maximum.

When there is an icon indicating 'Auto Bid,' it means our system is actively placing bids for the user based on their maximum bid. This may appear as if users are outbidding themselves, but it's simply a result of the system updating the bid to reflect the users maximum limit.

Audit

The Opal Sheriff program allows our members to request an audit on any product, which is completed by an independent Gemologist who assesses the accuracy of the item description and pictures.
